The taste properties and aroma of wheat beer unfold best of all if it is poured into a cup intended namely for this sort- with narrow bottom and widened top. In such cup the bubbles of carbonic acid effervesce slowly, saving the freshness of the beer and forming especially bouncy foam. Before serving the wheat beer it is recommended to cool it to the temperature of 8- 10 degrees centigrade; then its properties will be unfolded best of all. Besides it is advisable to rinse the cup before using it in cold water (especially on a hot summer day). There is a certain ritual of pouring wheat beer from the bottle into the cup. Traditionally an empty cup is put on the bottle, then the bottle with the cup is overturned, and the beer is poured by slowly raising the bottle upwards. This ritual has been thought of not due to the attractive pouring way, but to make the beer yeast present in the bottle rise from the bottom and distribute evenly in the full cup. If it is poured properly, thick foam rises above the brim of the cup as if a cap.

The Bavarian tradition teaches to greet each other with the bottom of the cup in gentlemen way, so that the cap of the white foam does not fall.

0.568 l can from the Mix Markt in town. Cloudy pale yellow golden in the glass with a one finger white foamy head. Yeast, wheat, some banana and sulfur on the nose. Taste starts more on the orange side with wheat, some sulfur and baban, little bit dry. Getting thin to watery in the second part. Low biterness. Mid carbonated for a Weißbier. Okay, but nothing more.

Lattina. Il naso vira verso il frumento. La finezza olfattiva è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido appare velato. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sulla lingua si attestano indizi di miele, pane, biscotto, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia, banana e chiodi di garofano.

Ein Hefeweizen aus Litauen - Sachen gibt es. Das der Kopf einer Flasche mit goldener Alufolie eingekleidet wird kennt man. Bei einer Dose habe ich das bisher noch nicht gesehen. Sehr helle, trübe Farbe. Grüner Apfel in der Nase. Geschmacklich hell getreidig und vor allem recht fruchtig. Natürlich Banane, aber vor allem Grapefruit und Zitronenschale und auch ein Hauch von dem grünen Apfel den man schon gerochen hat. Sehr erfrischend. Schmackhaft. Wer hätte gedacht, dass aus dem Baltikum ein so anständiges Weizen kommt. Kann auf alle Fälle mit dem, was man normalerweise in Deutschland an Dosenweißbieren bekommt, mithalten. Habe ich in einem kleinen Mix Markt gekauft. Die Supermarktkette hat sich auf Produkte aus Osteuropa spezialisiert. Obwohl der Laden nicht groß war, wurde hier eine erstaunliche Auswahl an „exotischen“ Bieren geboten. Und preislich (für Importware) auch OK.

500ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Nov 23. Thanks Simon for this. Misty golden amber, large white head. Gently sweet Belgian yeasty feel on the nose, creamy fluffy body with some gentle cloves and banana coming through well. Not bad.
